Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

Chapter 244: Solving the Case

The next day.

Hojo Saki Rei went to school as usual.

After the conversation with Tomoda Minako last night, Hojo Saki Rei knew that his identity had been discovered by other members of the organization, but Hojo Saki Rei did not think much of it.

As a member of the organization, Hojo Saki Rei felt that even if the organization knew about him, they would not do anything to him.

However, after learning that Tanaka Taiwa was also a member of the organization, Hojo Saki Rei was somewhat suspicious.

"What's going on? This guy is also a member of the organization?"

"Since he is a member of the organization, why didn't he ask the organization for help with the things he encountered before?"

"Does that mean his authority is not enough? Or is he just a reserve?"

Hojo Saki Rei thought to himself while driving to school.

Besides this reason, Hojo Saki Rei could not find any other reasons.

After all, he learned from Tomoda Minako that Tanaka Taiwa was an undercover agent placed in the school by a high-ranking official of the country. Since that official placed him in the school, it meant that he also had his own superior.

However, he dealt with the things that happened to him before by himself, which made Hojo Saki Rei somewhat puzzled.

Therefore, besides Tanaka Taiwa's authority not being enough, or his superior simply not caring about his private affairs, Hojo Saki Rei really couldn't think of any other reasons.

"It seems I am much luckier than Tanaka Taiwa, at least I have Minako to help me."

Thinking of the time he had been in the organization and Tomoda Minako's help, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

Ever since he joined the organization, Tomoda Minako had always been helping him.

Moreover, Tomoda Minako was very interested in his private life. No matter what difficulties Hojo Saki Rei encountered, Tomoda Minako would actively help him solve them.

Thinking of this, Hojo Saki Rei naturally felt that he was much luckier than Tanaka Taiwa.

While Hojo Saki Rei was on his way to school, Tomoda Minako had just set off for school.

But the car had only just driven halfway when Tomoda Minako received another call from Ogata Rieko. When she saw the call, Tomoda Minako immediately slammed on the brakes.

After realizing what was happening, she pulled the car over to the side of the road and stopped.

"What's wrong? Calling me so early in the morning, is there something urgent?"

After answering the phone, Tomoda Minako immediately asked.

She knew that if Ogata Rieko didn't have anything urgent, she definitely wouldn't call her so early in the morning.

As Tomoda Minako's words fell, Ogata Rieko's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"If there's nothing wrong, can't I call you? We haven't seen each other for a long time, isn't it okay if I miss you?"

When Ogata Rieko on the other end of the phone said this, she deliberately paused for a moment.

As for Tomoda Minako, she originally thought that the other party had something important to call her about. Now, hearing Ogata Rieko say this, she immediately snorted angrily.

"If you missed me, then pigs would fly."

"Alright, if you have something to say, hurry up and say it, don't dawdle. Besides, calling me so early in the morning, if there's nothing wrong, I won't believe you."

When she said this, Tomoda Minako was already somewhat impatient.

Ogata Rieko was like this, always teasing her during this time.

No matter if there was an emergency or not, she would always tease herself when calling.

This made her feel somewhat speechless. She was already so old, couldn't she be more mature?

"Alright, alright, I get it, so that's what you think."

"It seems someone's morning grumpiness hasn't been cured yet, even after all this time."

Ogata Rieko on the other end of the phone teased Tomoda Minako again, then continued, "Congratulations, Minako, you've rendered meritorious service!"

"What? What meritorious service?"

Hearing Ogata Rieko's sudden remark, Tomoda Minako was directly shocked by what she said.

After all, Tomoda Minako thought that Ogata Rieko called her because she had something else urgent.

But she had just finished the teasing topic, and now she was congratulating herself?

This made Tomoda Minako somewhat confused and unable to react.

"Of course, it's about the spy matter."

"The organization originally thought it would take you a long time to do this, but unexpectedly, after such a short time, you've already caught that spy. It's truly gratifying."

"I used to think that the mission the organization gave you was completely difficult for you, but I didn't expect you to actually be able to complete it. This is truly incredible."

Hearing that Tomoda Minako seemed to not know what she had done, Ogata Rieko quickly continued.

However, after hearing Ogata Rieko say that she had found the spy, Tomoda Minako became even more confused.

It should be known that during this period, Tomoda Minako had never found any real spy.

Moreover, Tanaka Taiwa, whom she had found earlier, was not a spy at all, but an undercover agent sent by the higher-ups.

Originally, after knowing that the person she found was not a spy but an undercover agent, Tomoda Minako had no intention of solving this matter again.

She would just let it be.

But now, Ogata Rieko was telling her that she had found the spy.

This result made Tomoda Minako somewhat unable to react.

"Go away, go away, if you have nothing to do so early in the morning, find something to do yourself, and stop making fun of me."

Thinking that she hadn't found any spy during this time, Tomoda Minako immediately said impolitely.

She also understood that Ogata Rieko on the other side was just teasing her.

After saying this, Tomoda Minako intended to hang up the phone and continue to school.

She had classes this morning and no time to waste here with Ogata Rieko.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't hang up yet, please listen to me first!"

"You have indeed solved the spy case. To be precise, this was not done by you, but by Saki Rei-kun."

Just as Tomoda Minako was about to hang up the phone, Ogata Rieko's voice came from the phone again.

Tomoda Minako, who originally thought Ogata Rieko was teasing her, frowned even deeper.

Even she herself hadn't found that spy, so how could Hojo Saki Rei have found him?

She had reason to suspect that Ogata Rieko was still playing with her.

However, since Ogata Rieko had already said this, she naturally couldn't just hang up the phone. What if what the other party said was true?

Of course, in addition to this glimmer of hope, Tomoda Minako also wanted to know how Ogata Rieko would explain it to her next.

"Alright, you just said I solved the spy case, and now you're bringing Saki Rei-kun into it. I'd like to see how you explain it to me next."

"If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll definitely ask the organization to change my communicator."

"I'm still driving to school for class, and I don't have time to waste here with you."

Tomoda Minako said righteously.

Although what she said was not her true intention, and she didn't want to change any communicators at all, after all, Ogata Rieko was her good friend.

However, she could not tolerate Ogata Rieko's habit of joking at all.

After all, this kind of thing was not suitable for jokes, so she would speak to Ogata Rieko in this tone.

"Oh, when did we start losing trust? Don't you even believe me anymore?"

"We are the best of friends, and we promised to be best friends for life. Have you forgotten these vows?"

Hearing Tomoda Minako say those words, Ogata Rieko began to pretend to be pitiful.

And prepared to talk about their previous friendly relationship.

"Alright, alright, if you really have nothing to do, then I'll just hang up. I really have class in a bit. If you really want to chat with me, can I call you after school?"

Tomoda Minako said again at this moment.

She felt somewhat that Ogata Rieko was really too idle.

If she continued to let Ogata Rieko talk, who knew when she would stop? Did she still need to go to class?

"Alright, I'm not joking with you. Actually, what I said is true. The organization has already prepared rewards for you and Saki Rei-kun. They will be sent to you at noon."

"Have you forgotten what Saki Rei-kun told us a few days ago?"

"It's about Haruta Sanjirō..."

Seeing that Tomoda Minako was indeed going to hang up the phone, Ogata Rieko was also somewhat flustered and quickly brought up the matter at this moment.

When she mentioned Haruta Sanjirō, Ogata Rieko did not hesitate and directly told the whole story.

After Hojo Saki Rei reported the last incident, the organization immediately began to investigate Haruta Sanjirō.

And last night, the organization's people also learned from Haruta Sanjirō that he was the spy.

"What? You mean Haruta Sanjirō is a spy? How can there be such a coincidence? Is this guy really a spy? You're not lying to me, right?"

As Ogata Rieko reported what happened within the organization to Tomoda Minako, Tomoda Minako was directly shocked by what she said.

Because Tomoda Minako never expected that Haruta Sanjirō would be a spy.

In the past, Tomoda Minako had always been very indifferent to Haruta Sanjirō. When she saw Haruta Sanjirō trying to strike up a conversation with her, she felt a little disgusted with him and also felt that Haruta Sanjirō was not a good person, but she had never associated him with a spy.

After all, Haruta Sanjirō just gave her the feeling of being a bad person, and a bad person who harbored ill intentions towards her.

Ever since Haruta Sanjirō was dealt with by Hojo Saki Rei, and his position had been canceled by the school, Tomoda Minako had stopped paying attention to him.

If it weren't for Hojo Saki Rei, Tomoda Minako would not have reported Haruta Sanjirō's matter to the organization.

But she never thought that her small action would actually lead the organization to catch that so-called spy.

For a moment, Tomoda Minako was stunned.

"Yes, he is that spy. If it weren't for you and Saki Rei-kun, the organization wouldn't know when they would be able to pull him out of the crowd."

"How about it? I called you so early in the morning, are you still angry?"

Hearing Tomoda Minako's shocked words, Ogata Rieko also knew that Tomoda Minako might be somewhat difficult to accept, but this was the result she wanted.

She kindly called Tomoda Minako so early in the morning, but Tomoda Minako kept thinking that she was just teasing her.

Now seeing Tomoda Minako like this, Ogata Rieko naturally felt very happy.

As her words fell, Tomoda Minako also came back to her senses.

"This matter has little to do with me. I just helped Saki Rei-kun report the message Saki Rei-kun wanted to report to the organization."

Thinking of her previous actions, and then thinking of what Hojo Saki Rei had said to her at that time, Tomoda Minako suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.

If it weren't for Hojo Saki Rei, it would have taken the organization an unknown amount of time to catch this spy.

After talking a few more words with Ogata Rieko, Tomoda Minako excitedly hung up the phone.

"I must quickly tell Saki Rei-kun about this. I didn't expect him to have helped the organization accomplish such a big thing so soon after joining. If Haruta Sanjirō continued to stay in the school, who knows how much of the organization's information he would expose next."

"Saki Rei-kun, this time he helped the organization solve such a big problem, he will definitely be praised by the organization."

After thinking of this, Tomoda Minako's lips slowly curved upwards at this moment...
